Execution

This game mode is simple, kill or be killed.
The rules are:
-You must finish your opponent with an execution(close range/Explosion) 1 life per round
Exceptions to the rules are shooting someone in the head while they’re down with the pistol or sniper. The pistol is far easier to shoot the head with. In execution the strategy is fairly simple go for the finish, damage them from a far then rush, or just rush. The only point in not rushing downed enemies is to lure opponents to the scene for extra kills. Luring can be very effective, but it’s a risk/reward kind of thing, it can go really well… or really bad. After being downed twice, your third down is death, this keeps players from doing the two man rush and picking each other up rapidly. It also adds the feeling of weakness. Since most people think that their teammates will revive them, the three your out rule helps remind people they can be finished from a range.
